What is the best way to host video platform in a cost efficient way and good streaming quality while still keeping it extensible

OuttaSpaceTime asked in Servers

Hey,

I am planing a little page where we want to post zoom sessions and give the opportunity to watch them afterwards.
In the beginning we might 5-20 people watching and long term plans are to build courses from sessions etc.
I think each session will have between 200 mb and 1gb.

I thought about going for something like vimeo with plyr video player. Starter would be about 6 Euro per month which seems fair imo.

I was interested if there are any downsides for using vimeo or maybe even different better options? like aws or carriervave along with page hosting? Is there good video player integration with good streaming possible? Also when it comes to hosting the page which costs for the server should I calculate in the beginning? Any advice regarding this?

Right now I just worked on a couple of rails projects but never really hosted for myself, so I am rather new to this.

Thanks for any advice and guidance :)
